You are an engineer in charge of designing A new generation of elevators for a perspective upgrade to the Empire State building. Before the state legislator vote on funding for the project, they would like you to prepare a report on the benefits of upgrading the elevators. One of the numbers that they have requested is the time it would take the elevator to go from the ground floor to the 102nd floor observatory. They are unlikely to approve the project unless the new elevators make the trip much faster than the old elevators. Estate law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate at greater than 4.2 m/s^2 or travel faster than 16.8 m/s, what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor?

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
